Halfway House - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Shields, ND.

When an individual has overcome substance abuse problem, it isn't as easy as resuming where you left off. Getting back to a positive and happy life takes time and a lot of hard work. A Halfway House, also known as a Sober Living Facility, is an environment where recovering individuals can live in a drug and alcohol free and supportive setting until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a condition of a person's parole for example, or the individual may make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own will after drug or alcohol treatment. In either case, residents of a Halfway House are clean and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, getting employment, etc.

Halfway Houses in Shields are run by people who in many cases were once residents of the house. How long an individual is permitted to remain at the Halfway House will differ, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Occupants must submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen randomly to be certain there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or addiction problems that would be more effectively addressed in a substance abuse recovery program.
